Balotelli’s brother to play in Malta
The 20-year old attacker signs a one-year deal with Qormi FC; club president does not exclude loaning him out.
Enoch Barwuah Balotelli - sibling of the famous Italy star Mario Balotelli - has just signed with Qormi FC.
The 20-year-old started training with the black and yellows this morning, although unconfirmed local reports are speculating he will join first division side, Gudja United. Both clubs have attracted foreign investors this summer.
Speaking to MaltaToday, Qormi FC President Redeno Apap confirmed the signing but did not say whether Balotelli will be loaned to another club.
"I confirm that he is already a Qormi FC player. He already started training and a definite decision whether he will be loaned or not will only be made after consultation with the coach. He will base his decision on what he sees in the training ground," Apap said.
Enoch Barwuah Balotelli had several trials with numerous clubs such as Napoli, Stoke City and Manchester City. In the past weeks, international media reported he was close to signing for Romanian Champions Steuea Bucharest.
Apart from Balotelli's signing, Qormi have already confirmed the capture of several Italian hot prospects on loan from Parma FC.
